Long Weekend in Jura

Tour Overview

Explore the hidden gem of Swiss cycling with this scenic tour through the peaceful Jura mountains, a less-visited but incredibly beautiful region of Switzerland.

Based in the charming town of Neuchâtel, you'll discover the rolling hills and panoramic ridges of the Jura mountains. The Chasseral offers spectacular views over the Swiss Plateau and the Alps in the distance, while the Col du Marchairuz and Col du Molandruz take you through pristine forests and meadows.

With moderate climbs, beautiful landscapes, and far fewer tourists than the Alps, this tour is perfect for cyclists who want to experience a different side of Switzerland away from the crowds.
